• I don’t know why it took me two months to continue this series after reading The Defence, but it’s always exciting stepping into the world of Eddie Flynn again! 

• As always, I was hooked right from the first chapter because of how well-written it was and the amount of twists and turns in just the first few pages. 

• This was packed with adrenaline, like the rest of the series, it’s just nonstop action which I loved! And I absolutely love Eddie, his sense of humor and his love for his family is always wholesome to see 🫶🏼

• And of course, I always love learning more about law and the justice system, even though this is obviously fictional, you still get these insights about what being a lawyer is like 

• I did find this a bit too slow, this whole book is set around 2-3 days, yet it felt like it took forever for some things to finally reach a conclusion. There would just be so much happening that it was hard to believe it all happened in one day. 

• And the reason why this wasn’t a 5⭐️ for me was the ending. There are many shocking twists at the end that I didn’t expect, however, more and more twists kept being added to the point where I felt like it was too convoluted and it became unclear what was the truth and what wasn’t. I think I would’ve liked this a bit more if the first twist was the final one and it was wrapped up there. 

• I can’t wait to continue this series and if you’ve not read this, I highly recommend it! It’s fast-paced, entertaining, and has short chapters!
